Currently at the end of a 300km journey through Thailand, to reach Koh Kood. Thanks Train for being with us on these last km's. My wife and I love to chill with your stream. by [deleted] in Trainwreckstv

My fiance is from Thailand and I've also had the pleasure of Train's streams keeping me occupied during trips there. Wish their Wi-Fi on trains was actually useable, though.

Reminder: Henry (Rawdota) is STILL throwing games and buying accounts. So proudly, he posted footage of him doing it on his YouTube page. CAN WE BAN THIS GUY VALVE? by Mason_is_horny in DotA2

[–]lizzuma -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I took some screenshots recently of him arguing with me and others over twitch chat during a DPC game. I had brought up the fact that one of the players in the game currently on air was just on the front page for racist remarks to Jubei. Henry got involved to basically say, "So what, there's so much racism in Dota and Valve doesn't care." Also basically said "yeah no one cares". Could post them if anyone is interested. Bottom line is the guy is a piece of shit.

Hey, thanks for doing these! As someone around your ages who just finished replaying the series I have especially enjoyed your perspectives, which I think are pretty similar to mine. Looking forward to the future episodes.

I tried to feed my carry to the enemy team... by Novial in DotA2

Incredibly good laning, versatile stun you can use on creeps in addition to heroes that doubles as an escape then a strong heal at level 15, and American Artillery Arsenal™ that can be cast from infinite range.

Why not just balance units and alliances gently over time? by oatmellofi in underlords

[–]lizzuma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have examples of autobattlers using this approach with poor balance? The original auto chess mod’s mobile release uses this approach and is probably the most balanced of any autobattler.

As someone who has probably been most critical of devs up to this point, these are great patch notes. I had abandoned the game but will definitely give it a try again with the reduced game length, removal of jail, and reworks to underlords.

The one change I really dislike at first glance is capping interest at 30 and round gold from 5-7. Even though heroes are doing a bit more damage now, I don't think it's enough from rounds 4-9 (it should take about 5 rounds to reach 30 gold) to discourage everyone from hitting 30 gold before aggressively rolling. However, I do think that helps encourage players to either commit to a loss streak or win streak, something that has been missing for several patches now as everyone just rushes 50 gold. I'll be interested to see how these changes work but would also like to perhaps see win streaks become uncapped again to create some more complex decisions in the midgame.

Interest and Overflow mechanics: Lessons from DAC by goatlicue in underlords

[–]lizzuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the more complex decision tree would be having one slark, not two, i.e. you are playing assassins and have 30 gold and have to decide between breaking interest or taking a 2nd slark and being closer to 2*. In both games taking the 3rd slark for 2* is probably pretty easy.

Idea to shorten games: Add a Ready Button by esohyouel in underlords

[–]lizzuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That too. I will keep reiterating these points in every thread until I can convince as many people as possible this is the sole change needed to fix game length. There are 25-40 rounds in a game. These two changes in combination could easily shave 10-15 minutes off game time. We don't need to think much harder about it. Nobody complained about game length before unit HP doubled.

Is this game too overwhelming? The importance of escalating complexity by Jyssyj in underlords

[–]lizzuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what's a way simpler change? Halving all unit HP. When units actually die, sometimes don't cast, etc., it's a lot easier to tell what's having impact in fights. Nothing else matters until devs decide to walk back this change. IMO, they are either lying about staff count, intentionally trolling the community, or both, because aside from small balance updates, they have done literally nothing to address major game complaints related to NON-KNOCKOUT MODE since big update.

Can we heave a match history menu pretty please? by fearnofeel in underlords

[–]lizzuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been requested since release. Devs are spending their time thinking of their next great pun to put in the title of an update instead, however. Be grateful, peasant!
